Story summary

Vice President JD Vance has cancelled his visit to Minnesota to announce an anti-fraud task force, following President Donald Trump's decision to reschedule his rallies in Iowa and Kansas due to concerns over attendance. The original plan was for Vance to hold a press conference on fraud later that Friday. While Trump cited the ability to reach more people through tele-rallies as the reason for changing his event schedule, it is unclear why Vance decided against his in-person appearance in Minnesota.
